Cocktail Of The Month

Ticino Sangria


Bar: Ticino Swiss Restaurant
Bartender: Jennifer Huang
Drink: Ticino Sangria

 

By John Chang Translation by Annie Liu

Ticino is well known for its fine Swiss dining in a chalet-style restaurant, but personally I like to stumble in for its late night bar scene. It's an intimate first-floor bistro, with live music Wednesday through Saturday nights, makes it a place where I can find one of my favorite drinks: Sangria--the perfect party punch. Every restaurant has its own recipe--typically a mix of wine, brandy, and fresh fruits, served over ice. It's one of the most individualistic drinks on the market, and the Ticino Sangria is a bold entry into this classic drink's iconic history.

Ingredients:
* Red wine 2 oz.
* Cherry brandy 1 oz.
* Lime juice 1 oz.
* Orange juice 1.5 oz.
* Sugar 0.5 oz.
